"Then Came the Last Days of May," Blue Oyster Cult

Amazing - my favorite BOC track, and I have not heard it on the radio in years and years.  Really great live with lasers and a fog machine.

"Then Came the Last Days of May," Blue Oyster Cult

Amazing - my favorite BOC track, and I have not heard it on the radio in years and years.  Really great live with lasers and a fog machine. 

When I've seen BÖC, there were no lasers or fog machines.  All the times I've seen them was well after their arena heyday.

Buck Dharma still kills it on every song.  I sometimes wish he would change guitars, he ALWAYS plays the same one.  But, hey, it never sounds bad...



"Guitarist Buck Dharma, of BLUE OYSTER CULT, had this Steinberger
custom made to look like swiss cheese, thus creating the first and only
playable “Cheese” berger. The Cheeseberger is a custom GM7 body made
 to Buck’s specifications by the last Nashville incarnation of the
Steinberger Management. It is a one of a kind."

Judging by these setlists, one oughta be rarely disappointed when listening. Unfortunately, 8PM is a highly competetive time slot.
